Rummy's big score

Sunday, March 12, 2006
From the Independent UK today:

Donald Rumsfeld has made a killing out of bird flu. The US Defence Secretary has made more than $5m (£2.9m) in capital gains from selling shares in the biotechnology firm that discovered and developed Tamiflu, the drug being bought in massive amounts by Governments to treat a possible human pandemic of the disease.

Appearently fear of all stripes makes money for the powers that be.

1. I'm now convinced that every threat promoted on corporate

propaganda networks is a profit opportunity for friends of PNAC the the barons.

2. Yes, these evil old men have it all sewed up.

Or so it seems. The planet's dying, but what do they care? Their money stash is all-important.

4. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that they all get paid for destroying us.

Cheney got his. Rummy needs paid. George got to keep his daddy's legacy intact by forking over the government, purging the CIA, compromising the congress, etc. All in all, this operation has been completely successful in transferring what was left of America into private hands.
